On Visual Studio Code, Mac OS version 10 I am trying to compile (debug C/C file) a C code to connect to SQLite3 database. The compile ends with error :
ld: library not found for -lsqlite clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
There is an SQLite3 folder under /usr/lib/ , which includes the SQLite3 library. sqlite3.h I put directly under the same source code file sqlite3test1.c. However the compile failed with an error. I link using this command on terminal :
/usr/bin/clang -lsqlite3 -fcolor-diagnostics -fansi-escape-codes -g /Users/Training/sqlite3test1.c -o /Users/Training/sqlite3test1
The command generated an executable file, run correctly, and the executable file provided the database records on the terminal window ( Success ).
How to make the link without the command?
CodePudding user response:
SQLite is included in macOS and Mac OS X by default. So I think you are asking where to add your -lsqlite3
link parameter in the VSCode right? If so, there is a hidden folder .vscode
, inside is a tasks.json
:
Open task.json
:
{
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C : clang build active file",
"command": "/usr/bin/clang",
"args": [
"-fcolor-diagnostics",
"-fansi-escape-codes",
"-g",
"${file}",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
],

}
Did you find the sqlite3
command I added? That's it.
Now if you build and run the main.c
file, VSCode will compile&link successfully, and you are ready to debug.
